I was like, well, you want to know a little bit about the foreign policy, like friend or foe or something.
You have to have some basic level.
And where would you look it up?

Do you have sources that you trust?
I don't think you need to know all of these details, but you need to know kind of some general knowledge.

I think there's a quote people say, aging is better than the alternative.
